<p>Hi !<br>
There has been a regression last August (I believe in Cargo) where crates that where both dylib + rlib and using LTO are failling to compile. It has been fixed in this <a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/8754">PR</a> in the current beta.<br>
I believe the issue is quite serious, given that it means that some users' program will now fail to build. Do you think a backport to the current stable (1.48) would be a good idea?<br>
Thx</p>

<p>Sounds reasonable to include that, but I don't think we're currently planning a patch release</p>

<p>Which I guess means that it is not enough on its own enough to warrant such a patch?</p>

<p>yeah, doesn't look like it impacts many people</p>

<p>I agree that at this time it would likely not be on the table to do a point release, but we'll keep it in mind. If you can note such issues before the release hits stable it's much easier to backport changes.</p>

<p>Yes, my bad! I didn't update and had not tests against beta. I've learned my lesson!<br>
Thanks to the both of you for your answers.</p>
